it's almost

time for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her - people with gifts - and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart - and Adam's life.

Just get to the last book!

What made the experience of listening to Unravel Me the most enjoyable?

I love Juliette's character. And I love how she makes the relationship between the characters so confusing.

What does Kate Simses bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She does a good job of making you feel how Juliet thinks about herself with this week little voice but her actions speak otherwise.

Any additional comments?

Juliette is beautiful and poetic. Kenji is by far my favorite sidekick ever. Warner is to die for. Adam gets the short end of the stick.

Unravel me

I like the character development. Her struggle at finding who she is and how she should act. That struggle between what she knows others want from her but what she really wants for herself. Coming to terms with who she is, what she is. I can't wait to start book 3!

An excellent read for an excellent book

Tahereh has written an excellent second installment for this series. Kate said and amazing job with the reading as well. I think the thing that I enjoy the most about this book was the level of detail that is put into every small piece of the writing. She really makes the characters come alive and the environment in which they are in almost appears before you in three dimensions.

this is an amazing story!!

I loved it!! and the narrator!! an absolutely amazing book!! can't wait to hear the next one!

Amazing!!

This story is told so good I can describe how good it was! I recommend u reading it 🫶

Must read in order

Read this from Book 1 in order. You won’t want to stop reading or listening until the end.

I LOVEEEEE IT

I don’t understand why people say this book is boring. It might be a little slow in the beginning, but as i kept reading, I couldn’t put it down.

When Superheros meet dystopian teen romance

I can recall listening to Shatter Me some months ago and being extremely irritated with Juliette’s weakness. She is so incredibly whiney, and I understand why, but come on already.

All she ever wanted was to be accepted. Now she is. She is surrounded by supernatural beings, yet she continues to whine whine whine. Oh I just learned I have amazing super strength? Let me whine about how this power is useful in killing. Oh there’s a war happening? Let me whine about my lovelife. Geez Louise, she is so complainy.

However, I absolutely adore this series. I just can’t put my finger on it, but it just draws me
in.

The author, Tahereh Mafi, has such a strange writing style. Everything she says is a metaphor; then she will go on to explain that it’s a metaphor. So, so strange. But, I love it. I love how Juliette will be complaining that there are no words to describe what she is feeling, so she will go on to list the types of words there are. Something like, “There are no prepositions, adverbs, or verbs to describe how I’m feeling.”

I think if I were actually reading the story, I would be annoyed, but Kate Simses depicts all of the characters in a loveable way. She is extremely talented – have you heard how she does James’ voice? Genius!

What Made Unravel Me Work:
Kenji. He is the comic relief of the story that actually had me laughing out loud. He is the voice of reason that puts Juliette in her place. He is funny, has a tragic past, but he still carries an air of mystery to him that makes him a pivotal member of the series.

The romance. Even though it drives me loony on occasion, I am still completely invested in Juliette’s tragic love-life. She is split between Adam and Warner – which is so awesome. I know love triangles are getting a bit overdone, but it is some juicy drama. I’m not going to get into details over what exactly transpires, but it’s fantastic.

The mystery. Some may argue that this story is a tad predictable. Maybe it is. But, I don’t care. It is still exciting to me to learn what may next happen to Juliette, and I’m dying to wait forever for the third installment.

I love these books

is it possible to enjoy a second book more than the first? I think so!

The Shatter Me series is fantastic

I now own all of the Shatter Me Books in hard copies, on my kindle and NOOK, and now also in audible form. My daughter and I have bonded a lot over these books. We have had some great conversations about life, love and other mysteries! We started these when she was about 15. I would highly recommend them to Mothers and Daughters to share and talk together as women. (Note: Mom, there are definitely some blush moments. But even these led to some excellent conversations about tricky subjects, such as love vs lust. Consent vs assault, etc. Steal yourself and push through. Also, we read the books separately, and then talked about them. Now at 18 and 53, we can listen more comfortably together.)
